Valentine's Day is my absolute favorite holiday of the year! I was given my beloved pug 13 years ago, the same exact day I met the man of my dreams (McDreamy!). And my sweet crumb was born 7 days before the day of love. February is by far the greatest month in my life, for everything that I love the most was given to me or walked into my life during this glorious month of love.
Firstly, I'm so sorry that I've missed a couple of your posts...I have been a little busy and, as soon as you get behind with your comments, it seems to take ages to catch up, doesn't it ?...and now I feel awful as I'm back just in time for one of your fabulous giveaways !!
If there is one thing I really love, it's a vintage greeting card. My dad died in 2008 and we have just sold his house. We are just clearing the loft out and I found my Mum's 21st birthday cards and their wedding cards from the 30's and hundreds of love letters from when my dad was away in the war....they are so lovely.
Also, my husband buys me a box of Charbonnel and Walker Pink Champagne Truffles ( and they have to be the pink ones !!) every friday. They are the best.
Thanks for the lovely, romantic giveaway, Lynn and many thanks for your birthday wishes. XXXX
It's a win-win.
For me Valentines day is an anniversary so always special. I had a very bad relationship and spent a really sad and lonely time before I met my now husband, I was also inferile and faced a life I thought of being alone and not able to give my huge heart full of love to children.
I met my husband at work, we fell in love and he said he wanted me whatever happened, we could adopt and everything would be good, just before Valentines day he said we were going to Paris, I nearly fell over in shock. He had saved for a car and used the money to go.
We went and he took me to Sacre Couer, where we lit candles and then he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him.
Now years on I also have the miracle of IVF twins and each Vaentines Day I am still bowled over by the love I have and the love I can give.
Sorry went on a bit.
Hapy Valentines day everybody.
But I also love the unexpected like noticing that my partner has left me a message on our wee blackboard in the kitchen that says "I love you more and more each day!"
Every day I look at it I smile and think how lucky I am to have found the "right one" for moi.

It is a wonderful creative time that is just for the 2 of us.
I also love that my husband who works at home will always disappear for an hour and "surprise" me with flowers. It's sweet and predictable as well as very loving.
Happy Valentine's Day to everyone!

This is my valentine's day dream but some year it doesn't turn as I want ...
What a lovely idea.
The most fabulous Valentine day I had was when my hubby and me were in Venice for Carnival 20years ago. But Valentine day is not always for us on the 14th.: it is everytime when we are togather in a gourmet restaurant or spending a magic moment to discuss in the garden at sunset or a walk on the beach or in the mountain surronding our charming house overseeing the Mediterraneean Sea.
Please enter my name in your hat, I would be so happy to win.

What a great giveaway, I certainly want my name entered please! The best thing about St. Valentine's Day to me are the memories of my dad. Every year since I was a teen and into my adult years, he would go by himself to Schurra's in San Jose to pick out the perfect box of candies for the four ladies in his life. He was always so happy to watch us unwrap them and say I picked this one out for you because .... Always puts a smile on my face & warm feeling in my heart!
Happy day,
~Tracie

I love the fragrance and the metamorphosis from bud to full open flower.
Not much can beat the thrill of receiving a beautiful bouquet of roses at work! Sadly, it is a fleeting thrill... they die so quickly despite ones best efforts, aspirin in the water, trimming stems under cool running water... accepting defeat and deciding to "dry" them to make potpourri out of later...
My darling husband began a tradition for me right after we were married 11 years ago. Instead of a lovely bouquet, he gives me a rose bush every year! I know have a lovely little garden that blooms over and over again! In all honesty, his idea probably came more from frugality than romance, but I love it just the same!
Merci madam!
